Today I'm skipping my normal Five Minute Friday, and departing from my typical DIY and decor talk, to share something really fun with you guys in honor of Shark Week! Last fall, Scott and I took an incredible two week trip to South Africa. When we returned, I promised you some reports on that trip, but we are still working our way through the many thousands of photos we took on the trip so those reports have been very slow coming. But since this week is Shark Week on The Discovery Channel, it ... View the Post

Modern Patio Construction With Square Pavers
Last week, I kicked off a new series of posts that I'm calling "Backyard Evolution," where I'm going back in time to show you how, over the course of the past six years, we've slowly been changing our small, urban backyard work for us - from our young couple status when we bought the house, to our current status as a family of four with two young boys who need more room to play. Last week, I shared some photos of what the backyard looked like when we moved in, and I talked about the initials ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Christmas in July – DIY, Craft & Decor Ideas for Those that Like to Plan Ahead
One of the complaints I hear about holiday craft tutorials is that they are often shared on blogs too close to the actual holiday, not allowing time for you to make your own! And I totally get that! Every year I have the best intentions to get my holiday decorating and crafts done well in advance - not just to share them with you timely, but also to reduce my own stress level! But alas, I generally find myself working down to the wire and can't always share my projects as early as I would ... View the Post
Polka Dot Tea Towels
Hi everyone! I hope your long weekend is off to a great start! I know you are all busy spending time with family and friends, barbecuing, and getting ready to enjoy some fireworks, but since it's Friday, I wanted to pop in quickly with a bright and cheery five minute project that's perfect for summer! I'm a sucker for polka dots, so as soon I saw these adorable {and easy} tea towels that One Krieger Chick created, I immediately asked her if I could feature them for Five Minute Friday! This ...

Backyard Evolution Part 1 – The Before Photos & Initial Plans
Those of you that follow me on Instagram have probably seen a few photos lately of the work we are currently doing in our backyard. But this current landscaping work is just one step in what has been a six year long process to make our small, city backyard work for us - first as a couple of DINKs, and now as a family with two young boys. I thought it might be fun to go back in time to when we first moved into our home in 2008, and walk you through each stage of the process, starting ... View the Post

Decorating with a Reusable Fabric Chalkboard Banner
A while back, my mom made me a chalkboard fabric banner, and it has quickly become one of my favorite quick and easy ways to decorate for every holiday and occasion. If you've been following my blog for a while, then you've probably seen this banner show up in quite a few different posts, including, most recently, in our backyard for the 4th of July along side my DIY Stars and Stripes candle holders! I love these chalkboard fabric pennants for many reasons - because they are reusable and ... View the Post

{diy with style} Summer Fun with DIY Wooden Yard Dice
A few weeks back I was browsing my local Crate & Barrel's extensive line of stylish outdoor furniture and summer entertaining accessories. I was scoping out their outdoor games when I spotted a set of five Wooden Yard Dice. I have many fond memories of playing Yahtzee with my grandparents, so I love the idea of introducing my kids to some fun dice games while playing in the yard this summer - but the $60 price tag of the Crate & Barrel dice made me do a double take! Hello DIY ... View the Post
{featured} Organizing with IKEA Centennial: Join Me on Saturday for a How To Seminar
You all know that I'm a huge fan of IKEA, so imagine my excitement when IKEA Centennial asked me to lead a How To seminar during the IKEA FAMILY Appreciation Day this coming Saturday, June 27th!! In the four years since IKEA Centennial opened in the suburbs south of Denver, I've become a regular there.
